Counselling Clients with Intellectual Development Disorder: A Look at What Works

The purpose of this course, and its companion “Counselling Clients with Disability: Introduction to the Issues” (the introduction course should be completed before this course), is to build your capacity as a mental health professional to provide high-quality support and appropriate therapeutic interventions to this group of people whose needs have been largely misunderstood and under-recognised. The specific aim of this course is to examine which approaches and ways of working may be more fruitful with clients who have intellectual development disorder.
